There have been some cool tools coming out of Hashicorp, but I haven't read any experiences with people using their "full stack". Does anybody want to give their own anecdote or maybe have a link to related article?

They're not quite complete yet. I wish this was made more clear. Terraform has several bugs, some of them that will try and destroy perfectly good infrastructure for no reason (though it will warn you first).

That said, their work is always good, it's just not complete yet, but it's branded as if it is.

- Vagrant is a given, wonderful.

- Packer is for syncing VirtualBox, AWS AMIs, and what not for quick and stable starting points, also wonderful.

- Consul is great for monitoring and running a services oriented architecture, haven't pushed it to its full potential though.

- Serf: n/a, haven't tried yet.

- Terraform: n/a.

We are still using Ansible as the provisioner.

Overall, good ecosystem, would recommend.

Haven't used their full stack, but their "support" leaves a lot to be desired.

Our support has been strained and historically been slow, but for the past couple months, our average support time has dropped down to less than a day! We recognized the issue there and hopefully you'll have a much better experience from here on out. "Bad support" is not the company we want to be. Sorry for the poor experience you had.

Vagrant has so many bugs in development (network issues, file syncing issues) that I switched to manually building my own VMs to save time. I would never use it or any tech built on top of it in development, let alone production.

They really need to rewrite it in go. Ruby has been a disaster for this particular project. Don't even get me started on the Nokogiri issues. Everything they've written in go has functioned better IMHO.

Interesting. I haven't experienced any such issues personally.
